05 Nov 09 Monkeys and bears play musical instruments
Not content with riding bicylces together, it seems that monkeys and bears have a long history of partaking in leisure interests together.
“Monkeys got a squeeze-box, Yogi doesnt sleep at night…”
22 Oct 09 Monkeys Racing Bears on Bicycles
Holy shit!! Ive watched this about 12 times now, and each time I can’t decide if i’m hallucinating, or having some kind of flashback. Even the title of the video seems to make me doubt my sanity…

Its hard to tell, but i reckon the monkey wins. I bet the bears kick its arse afterwards.
21 Oct 09 ‘Evil Robot Monkey’ sci-fi short story
‘Evil robot monkey’ is a short science fiction story about a clay modelling chimp. It was written by Mary Kowal and was nominated for a Hugo award in 2009.
Sly scowled and yanked his hands free. “I’m not like the other chimps.” He pointed to the implant in his head. “Maybe Delilah should have one of these. Seems like she needs help thinking.”
You can download this awesome short story for free as a PDF or a mp3 from Mary’s site. Definitely worth the read.

14 Oct 09 Beautiful papercraft ukulele playing monkey
A rather clever chap called Matt Hawkins has designed this beautiful papercraft model of a monkey sat on a half-moon playing a ukulele. Im sorely tempted to make a purchase, but dont know if could do it justice. It reminds me of the Woody Allen film ‘Sweet and low down’ 
Its a limited print of 200, available to buy and build yourself here
